history
middle Ages
Lohr was the leading place in the Büttelei Lohr . In the two divisions of the Lichtenberg rule , which took place around 1330 and 1335, Lohr is mentioned as part of this rule . It is the part of the country of the "middle line", the descendants of Ludwig III. von Lichtenberg , assigned.
In 1396 Büttelei and the village were given to the Lords of Finstingen as pledge for the dowry on the occasion of the marriage of Adelheid von Lichtenberg , daughter of Johann IV. Von Lichtenberg , with Johann von Finstingen . It later came to Nassau-Saarbrücken , who introduced the Reformation there. It was not until the successors of the Lichtenberg family, the Counts of Hanau-Lichtenberg , that the Lohr pledge was released again in 1544.

From 1871 until the end of the First World War , Lohr belonged to the German Empire as part of the realm of Alsace-Lorraine and was assigned to the district of Zabern in the district of Lower Alsace .
